One-handed surgery does not require general anesthesia, but brachial plexus block anesthesia. If this anesthesia is completely blocked, the effect will certainly be less than the pain of dressing change. During the operation, the anesthesiologist will apply some auxiliary drugs according to the situation, and will also let you sleep and wake up.
The choice of anesthesia method is determined according to the needs of operation, the patient's condition and the level of anesthesiologist, and the patient's requirements are properly considered. If you insist on general anesthesia, I think the anesthesiologist will definitely agree.
More than 90% of operations abroad are general anesthesia. Brachial plexus anesthesia is not anesthesia, but brachial plexus block, which is generally used as an auxiliary means of general anesthesia. Because foreigners pay attention to humanization, patients will ask for no feeling and unpleasant experience during the operation, and only general anesthesia can guarantee it. In some large hospitals in China, the proportion of general anesthesia has reached 70~80%.
General anesthesia drugs have no long-term effect on human body, and the action time is very short, which is completely eliminated in the body. After waking up, the effect of narcotic drugs is basically over, and it will not have any impact on the brain or body. Of course, if there are anesthesia accidents or complications, it is different. Any anesthesia is risky, so is local anesthesia.
In fact, people upstairs don't know anything about anesthesia, and they all rely on their own imagination. There are essential differences between general anesthesia and local anesthesia. Moreover, any anesthesia will not affect intelligence, nor will it damage the nervous system unless there is an anesthesia accident. Body temperature disorder is only one of the complications of anesthesia, not even a serious complication, not to mention the so-called "the highest mortality factor in general anesthesia surgery."
